    Looking to put some new wheels and tires on my 2020 Taco after I do a 2" lift. Not really finding what I'm looking for at Tire Rack. I want to order online and do the install myself. Any recommendations? I want to put 285/75/16's on. Any help much appreciated.

    They currently have a coupon: 4WP10 that will give you 10% off. Screenshot below of a setup I'm currently thinking about. Seems like a pretty solid price post discount.

    OP, I know I am probably in the minority here but why not see if there is a local shop for tires? I am in NY and frankly we don't have a lot of good places with tons of wheels and tires so my options are limited. But I found a nice group of guys who run a small custom / off roading business and they were helpful. They were able to get the tires I wanted (Nitto Ridge Grapplers) but I didn't have the luxury of looking at other tires that I was genuinely interested in (Toyo, the new Pirellis, etc.). In the end, I think I paid a bit more than if I had bought them on line but I felt good because they did a good job on the mounting and I can bring the truck back if there are issues. I know it is just me but I felt good about supporting the guys and giving them my business -- even if in the end it ended up being another say $100. Not a small amount, I know.

    Some of these shops can also be very competitive too ... Just throwing that out there as something to consider.

    I agree. Rims are one thing, call me old fashioned but I like going into a tire shope. I like haggling and shootin the shit. Plus if it's a small enough shop and the dudes are cool, they'll usually let me look over ball joints n rotors n shit while the truck is on their lift.

    I have to say, I agree with you. The place I got my tires from is really a Jeep shop but they do all kinds of trucks and it was actually nice to meet some folks in the area, talk about baseball, trucks, the great outdoors and fishing. The shooting the shit part is kind of worth it otherwise we would never leave the house and talk to our neighbors.

    The small shop I go to is has 3 generations working there and it’s no bs they know what they’re talking about. Sent my gf there and she had two worn out fronts and some life left on
    Back instead of telling her she needs 4 new tires they rip the fronts and have new or used tires to replace. Prices are good too maybe not big tire chain prices but how could they be. Plus they have some awesome dogs that hang out outside and they make you play fetch with them lol. Small shops are awesome when it comes to some things.

    Ha ... I wish I had a place like that near me. It would be worth it.
